Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in real Baltimore neighborhoods with locals as extras, blurring fiction and documentary. The 'Sollers Point' of the title is an actual road in Dundalk.
Director Porterfield cast Lombardi after seeing him in American Honey; this was Zazie Beetz's pre-Atlanta breakthrough. The film deliberately rejects redemption arc expectations.
